Best Answer

In general, no.

The human core or internal body temperature is normally maintained to quite close tolerances regardless of weather, clothing, bathing, or cosmetics on the skin.

Some exceptions:

1. Lotions can at least temporarily affect the temperature of the skin, especially the outermost layer of epidermis. In general, a lotion will INCREASE the temperature by acting as a blanket and possibly by blocking perspiration, which cools the skin. Lotions and creams that are based on silicone oils tend to be more "breathable" than creams based on mineral, animal, or vegetable oils, and so tend to produce less hot/clammy feeling.

2. Under conditions of sickness or injury, there may be a malfunction of the body's temperature control system. In this case, the natural warming effect of substantive skin cosmetics may not be fully compensated, and can contribute to core warming or overheating.
